You, mad to expect repentance,Tear your robe all you want;I will never repent! — © Abu Nuwas
You, mad to expect repentance,Tear your robe all you want;I will never repent!
I bought abandon dearAnd sold all piety for pleasure.My own free spirit I have followed,And never will I give up lust.
Critic, relent!Your hope for repentanceWill meet with disapppointment.For this is the life,Not desert tents,Not camel's milk!
